Global Bus Accidents Spark Road Safety Concerns

A series of severe road accidents involving buses and other vehicles have occurred across Asia and the United States in recent days. In the Philippines, a Manila car crash injured six due to the driver's suspected stroke, while a separate bus accident led authorities to consider homicide charges and raised concerns about drug use among drivers. In Gujarat, India, a triple-vehicle collision killed six people, including a baby girl, and injured nine others. In the US, 17 students were injured in a Chicago school bus crash, three students were hurt in an Arkansas field trip accident, and a Michigan shuttle bus driver died after rear-ending a semi truck. These incidents have intensified scrutiny of road safety, driver health, and vehicle maintenance standards internationally. Investigations are ongoing in all cases to determine causes and accountability.
